C/C++TEST CAPABILITIES
Parasoft’s C/C++test is the fully integrated software testing solution for embedded safety-critical industries. Its automated software testing capabilities are also made for today’s high-velocity Agile DevOps environments.
It integrates tightly into your C and C++ IDE, CI/CD pipeline, and containerized deployments to detect defects earlier and automatically enforce compliance with industry standards.
Apply the most comprehensive set of source code analysis techniques (pattern-based analysis, data flow analysis, abstract interpretation, metrics, and so on) and verify code quality with the latest industry standards, like MISRA C 2023, MISRA C++ 2023, AUTOSAR C++ 14, and more.
Isolate code functions or units of code through stubbing, where developers can quickly build robust unit tests and/or autogenerate unit tests that ensure code safety, security, and reliability. Execute these tests in any cross-platform, host, virtual, or hardware target environment.
Collect code coverage as part of the continuous integration (CI) process and the developer desktop workflow. This is typically done through unit testing, system testing, manual testing, and all other test execution methods used, including testing on target hardware.
Monitor your running application, detecting runtime-related problems like memory leaks, memory corruption, reading uninitialized memory, and buffer overflows that could lead to stability issues, unpredictable behavior, and security vulnerabilities. Use predefined test configurations to support both native and embedded applications with C-style memory allocations (malloc or free).
Apply the most comprehensive set of source code analysis techniques (pattern-based analysis, data flow analysis, abstract interpretation, metrics, and more) and verify code quality with the latest industry standards, like CERT C, CERT C++, CWE, OWASP, and others.
Automate static analysis, unit testing, and code coverage to satisfy functional safety standards with TÜV SÜD-certified C/C++test. Also automate the verification and validation requirements defined in process standards like automotive (ISO 26262, ISO 21434), military/aerospace (DO-178C DAL-A), medical (IEC 62304), industrial automation (IEC 61508), rail (EN 50128), and others.
Parasoft DTP’s dynamic, web-based reporting dashboards include compliance reporting, customizable widgets, source code navigation, advanced filtering, and advanced analytics. DTP also completes and automates requirements traceability between test cases in C/C++test, the code, and requirements in ALM tools such as DOORS Next, Polarion, Codebeamer, Jama, and Jira.
Support of safety- and security-critical applications entails integrations with a comprehensive set of compiler toolchains, target hardware, source control, requirement management tools, Agile solutions, and more. Integrate tightly into the most popular C and C++ IDEs, CI/CD pipelines, and containerized deployments to detect defects earlier and automatically enforce compliance with industry standards.
